A bird strike en route from Bakewell to Coningsby brought about an unscheduled visit by the BBMF's Dakota. Arriving around 15:55, ZA947 initially made a low pass along the airfield enabling the tower to make a visual inspection for damage. The aircraft then landed to enable a closer inspection to be carried out. With nothing too serious found the Dak departed back to Coningsby at 17:45.
